So Cal by Willow
Part One


Duo sat on the grass eating his lunch. Dressed in BDU pants and a surf shop tee, his long hair braided and reaching to almost his knees, he was the epitomy of indolence. Adorned in hemp and shell necklaces and bracelets, he spelled cool. Attractive to both females and males, though it was rumored he prefered the latter, he reveled in the knowledge that he was the hottest thing on campus. Not only was he good looking, but he was well on his way to being valedictorian on his graduating cla..... that was until he came.

Him. Heero Yuy. Glowering beauty (yes, glowering) and smarts enough to put Duo in the dunce cap. Duo nearly dopped his jaw along with his sandwich as Heero stepped from his car (a nice new silver-blue BMW Z3, with 'Perfect1' on the front license plate), his navy blue Guchi suit making an impact on the populace. Heero stood with his hands on his hips, surveying the campus with a cool... make that cold, icy calculatory air. He stepped away from the car, pausing only to shut the door and set the alarm, and walked toward Principal Dogma.

Duo hurridly finished his lunch and stood up, wiping his hands on his camos. He gathered his bag and notebook and walked back to his class. He was a few minutes early, not usual for him, but seeing tall, dark, and handsome (well that was from his vantage point, since he was sitting and Heero had been standing) had made him loose his appetite for peanut butter and plum jelly sandwiches, even though they were his favorite.

"Duo Maxwell, please come to the office." The intercom chimed.

"Awe, man, wha'd I do this time? It can't be the spit wads on the ceiling of the locker room... I haven't done that since last term. Then what?"

What was answered as he walked into Principal Dogma... or rather who. Heero Yuy stood looking rather impatient and irritated that he'd had to wait.

Duo's attention was taken away from Mr. Perfect as the principal spoke to him. "Mr. Maxwell, would you please show Mr. Yuy around the school?"

Duo nodded and the stick like man looked down at the papers he held. "Ah, you are the single occupant of a double, right?" Duo nodded slowly. "Oh, good! Heero will be placed with you then. I'm sure you'll get along just fine."

Duo smiled at the man. "Of course, Mr. Vein, it's all my pleasure." The little mans smiled back then turned and headed for his office.

Duo turned back to Heero. "After you," he said, turning and gesturing toward the door.

"Hn," Heero grunted and walked past him.

"So, what do you like, Heero? You know, sports, um, games, et cetera."

Heero remained silent.

'C'mon, man, don't be so icy!' Duo thought, wishing Heero would speak.

"I guess I'll start then, seeing as you wish not to go first..." He smiled cheekily, "I like to surf, skateboard, rollerblade... um, I'm not much into sports... roller hockey, maybe.... I play some basketball... anou..."

"Why do you talk so much?" Heero asked, looking at him out of the corner of his eye. "Eh?" Duo was taken aback. "Well... I guess, cause I like to get to know people..." He shrugged eloquently.

"Hn."

"Look, roomie, we're dormed in the same room, might as well get to know one another, you know?" Duo said, sighing.

"Fine. I like basketball."

Duo smiled, "Well, that's a start." When they reached the dorm he scrutinized Heero's outfit. "Man, we gotta get you some new threads. I mean, you're sharp, but here we dress for fun and sun, comprende?"

"Hn. Leave my wardrobe alone," Heero said, rather icily (understatement).

Duo backed up a pace, waving his hands slightly. "Ok ok! Dress as you like, man. That's your choice." Duo sat on his bed, with a creak of the springs, and watched Heero unpack.

-1 week later-

"Yo, Duo!" called the blond running down the hall. "Yo, man, what ya doin' for break?"

Aquamarine eyes in a pale face danced merrily as he huffed trying to catch his breath. He was dressed down in baggy hunter green skate shorts, a dayglow orange tee, reaching almost his knees, white scrunch socks and Vans. By his appearance now you'd never guess that he was the son of a famous politician or heir to millions. No, he appeared to be just a normal looking surfer kid who's parents want him to be more than a surf bum the rest of his life.

"Yo, Q! You *know* what I'm doin'! I'm riding the waves and chasing the santa's around Santa Monica!" Duo smiled.

"Oh, c'mon! That's old, come stay with me and Tro! My family has gone to New York for Christmas and we have the entire place to ourselves!" Quatre beamed.

"Q, why oh why invite me then? You and Tro would be so indulged in one another you'd never notice I was there!" Duo said, putting his hands on his slim hips.

"You could join in the fun..." Quatre suggested playfully.

"Na, Q... 'Sides I don't think Tro would appriciate that too much... As much as I love ya, bud, you two were meant for one another... even if you'd never met 'im, we'd've never worked... you know that," Duo said, sadly. He placed a friendly kiss on Quatre's forehead. Quatre was like a little brother to Duo, despite the fact that he was older by about a year.

"Then bring someone!" Quatre said, "I'm not giving up till you say you'll come!"

"Who would I bring? There's no one here for me..." Duo sighed.

"How 'bout that Heero guy? He's hot!" Quatre grinned evily.

"Yeah, he sure is... but I have no clue to his preferences and besides, I bet he's gonna be visiting family or something..."

"No he's not..." Quatre said, "But you'd better get to him before Miss Thang over there does!" Quatre pointed behind him to where Miss Relena Peacecraft was walking towards his door.

" 'Scuse me a sec, Q-man... I got business to tend to," He turned and walked over to Relena. "Heya, Lena, you're looking hot today..." He said, putting every ounce of charm behind his comment.

"Thank you, Duo, you aren't looking too bad yourself," she smiled at him. This was a game they played often. "Q talking shit again?"

Duo nodded. "It's you facade, my love... you play it too well..." he grinned at her, then grabbed her hand and slowly lifted it to place on it a chaste kiss. "Lena-darling, have you somewhere to be this break?"

"No... not really, my family cancled because father had business... I was going to stay here..." she smiled at him, enjoying their little game.

"Oh, then, my dear, would you oblige me and be my guest at Quatre's estate?"

"Only if *he* doesn't mind..." she indicated Quatre, smiling sweetly.

"Oh course he doesn't mind! It was he who suggested I bring a guest! Ah, but a catch! To appease him, we simple *must* invite Heero to join our party, don't you think?" Duo said, turning and opening the door. "Hey, Heero? Got plans for Christmas?"

"Hn."

"I'll take that as a 'no.' Care to join us? Quatre will *not* take 'no' for an answer."

After some convincing Heero conceeded and the group, picking up yet another member, the young Dragon Wufei Chang, made preparations for their vacation at Quatre's family's estate.
